“Hard Bop, I love the way Chart fires off riffs like a peregrine falcon flying through the canyons.”

Review: Justin Chart: Night Heat

Justin Chart’s appropriately named new album “Night Heat” is live with the unbridled spontaneity of brilliant musicians at the very top of their game.
 
Chart has once again recorded a live Hard-Bop album with thought-provoking phrasing, while presenting powerful control of his horn. “We Got Somethin Goin On”, begins as a sprawling piece that starts with a powerful groove before morphing into a full-blown jazz extravaganza, fueling Chart’s sizzling riffs. This song would have been a hit single back in the day when instrumental singles meant something.

The New Album

From Universal Music Group 

NIGHT HEAT

“Night Heat” is a captivating journey into contemporary post-bop jazz. Chart’s alto saxophone takes center stage, weaving mesmerizing melodies throughout the album. The interplay between Chart and the band is phenomenal, creating real-time magic. Chart’s signature, Live and in 1 take!

“Night Heat” is a love letter to the city, in all its complexity. The music is both sophisticated and soulful, reflecting the multifaceted character of urban life. If you want to feel jazz, listen to “Night Heat”.

TODAY'S TOMORROW

The artistic journey is about connecting with something inward that is universal. I source my melodies from my emotions. I give the best in the moment, that’s the best it can be, being able to share it, ,and my self-expression creates a profound connection between myself, the band and the audience. 

Chart   LIVE!
